An Ola man is currently being held on a $1 million bond after law officials say he shot and killed a man during a robbery before attempting to burn the man’s house down.

Timothy J. Kendrick, 31, was initially arrested Tuesday on a misdemeanor warrant out of the Conway Police Department, according to Yell County Sheriff’s Department’s (YCSD) Chief Deputy John Foster. Kendrick was held as a suspect for the May 26 murder of Harold Adcock, 80, after an investigation and statements obtained from several people who implicated Kendrick in Adcock’s death, according to a statement released by YCSD.

“We picked him up on that outstanding warrant and then later in the day we developed enough information to put the hold on him for murder,” Foster said.

According to the release, “investigators allege Kendrick shot Adcock twice in the head during an attempt to obtain money and pain pills, and that Kendrick attempted to burn the residence to cover up the crime.”

Foster said the residence sustained very little fire damage and Adcock — who lived alone — was found the morning after the incident by a family member.

While Foster said Kendrick wasn’t believed to be relatives, nor is there a suspected motive other than robbery, the two did live within about half a mile of each other.

“I don’t believe they actually knew each other,” Foster said.

The release states Kendrick “initially denied the allegations, but later cooperated with investigators and provided information which led to the recovery of some items that were alleged to have been taken from the residence.”

Kendrick is currently being held at the Yell County Jail in Danville. His bond was set at $1 million Thursday by Yell County Circuit Judge Jerry Don Ramey. He’s expected to face capital murder, aggravated robbery and attempted arson charges.
